Gross, as I tweeted him, there is no upside paying Frye til the age of 35. None.

SpecialSauce...blast from the past.

Isaiah Thomas "Scouting Video" -

Listening to Gambo now... saying there has to be another domino to fall. Just way too much money for a backup PG when you just drafted Ennis. Everyone thinks Ennis will eventually be a starter, why give Thomas so much money? If we keep Bledsoe this move makes no sense to me. The only other thing I can think is we're letting Gerald Green go? Otherwise I see absolutely no minutes for Goodwin or Ennis.

Isnt this Greens final year of his deal? He could very easily be on his way out.

We have to be in play for a SF or PF with maybe Bledsoe as bait. Maybe S+T Bledsoe for Monroe?

It is. Still, I would rather one year of Green than 4 years of Thomas, at this point. I'll wait until I see the roster on day 1 of training camp, but right now I'm not a fan of this move.

I love the player, it just doesn't make sense with this current roster. Has to be something with the Bledshow. Maybe he wants the Max and Mcdonaugh is saying no way.

Why would IT2 choose us over a team like Dallas where he'd get more mins only competting with Devin Harris and Felton? Or Miami? has to of been told about another move

Supposedly he wants to be a starter or have a legit chance to start, which won't be the case now as is. Right now, he's a super 6th man. But yea, he could've talked to Miami or Milwaukee.

Word is that our vision remains with Bledsoe and Dragic and Thomas off the bench to give us a dangerous backcourt. I don't disagree, I just don't want to see Goodwin get held back.

Last Season -

Thomas - 34.7 Min, 20.3 Pts, 45.3 FG%, 34.9 3P%, 85.0 FT%, 2.9 Reb, 6.3 Ast, 1.3 Stl

Bledsoe - 32.9 Min, 17.7 Pts, 47.7 FG%, 35.7 3P%, 77.2 FT%, 4.1 Reb, 5.5 Ast, 1.6 Stl
Green - 28.4 Min, 15.8 Pts, 44.5 FG%, 40.0 3P%, 84.7 FT%, 3.4 Reb, 1.5 Ast, 0.9 Stl

He's not a starting PG in this league though. You're comfortable paying your 3rd/4th G $7m/yr? I'm really interested in seeing what move is next. You gotta think Goodwin is scratching his head. Ennis too.

That guard rotation is going to be nasty! Balls out for 48 minutes. The other teams aren't going to know what hit them.

Green and Goodwin can both be 2/3 swings imo. If Archie is good enough to play, he'll play. No doubt in my mind.

If he's made as big a step forward as we're led to believe by the reports on his summer progress, they'll make room for him somehow.

Green at 3 was a nightmare early on this past season - I can only hope that he'll be in a pending trade package to help free up the now-massive guard logjam.....

Green at any position defensively was a nightmare, dude is a turnstile. Offensively I think the whole position thing is fluid with how we run, so I think we'll be ok.

Can't argue with the former - on the latter, the man was neutered on both ends.....

Not to mention Ennis, who seemed like a curious pick at the time of the draft and even more so now, if all the guards are kept.
